Question 1

Is Mardella a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Mardella is a rural-residential pocket on Perth’s outer southern fringe where large blocks, hobby farms and remnant bush shape daily life. Housing is dominated by standalone homes, sheds and farm-style properties, and local life tends to revolve around outdoor activities and land-based hobbies. The suburb appeals to people who want space for horses or small-scale agriculture and a quieter lifestyle while still accessing shops and services in nearby town centres such as Byford and Mundijong. Public transport and retail are limited within Mardella, so most residents rely on cars and neighbouring towns for errands.

It is a small community of 446 people, with a median age of 45 and a median household income of $2,288 a week. Families are largely couple-based, together accounting for almost nine in ten families, and homes are mostly owner-occupied (86.1%). Mardella sits on the alignment for the Tonkin Highway extension and linked Thomas Road upgrade, a major Main Roads project that includes equine underpasses, shared paths and noise-mitigation measures, and the shire is exploring rezoning and a master plan for Lot 500 to consider equine facilities. Heritage places include Lowlands Homestead, Lowlands Nature Reserve along the Serpentine River, and Mardella Hall and the fire station.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Mardella?

Accepted Answer

Mardella hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to put reliable figures on what homes cost to buy or rent. Without those figures, there isn't a clear picture of how expensive it is to live here compared with local incomes recorded at the most recent Census.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
